The US Department of Energy (DOE) has selected 19 projects to enhance the capability to simulate, track, and evaluate the potential risks of carbon dioxide storage in geologic formations. Researchers will develop systems for tagging CO 2 with carbon-14 at atmospheric level (1 part per trillion) and measuring the carbon-14 CO 2 levels.

However, some critics argue that EVs still have a significant carbon footprint, particularly due to battery production and electricity generation. The European Environment Agency (EEA) states that a mid-sized EV in Europe emits 66-69% fewer emissions over its lifecycle than a gasoline car ( EEA, 2022 ). So, are EVs truly greener?

When you go to Iceland, people walk for an hour to get to the glacier. Researchers at the Mer de Glace have found that exposure to its fragile environment can inspire people to adopt environmentally friendly behavior — or at least to declare their intention to do so in a questionnaire. For us, it’ll be the same.” Others are skeptical.

We note that the Sustainable Business Council’s Low Carbon Freight Pathway, reflected in the CCC’s final advice, has shown that we can be much more ambitious. We support the SBC’s Low Carbon Freight Group’s work, and encourage the development of a National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy as a matter of priority. Role of ETS .

EV MYTH ONE: Manufacturing EVs is just as bad for the environment as ICEVs. Electric vehicles typically have a smaller operating carbon footprint than gasoline cars, even when accounting for the electricity used for charging. EV MYTH TWO: Producing electricity for EVs is just as bad for the environment as using ICEVs.

EV MYTH ONE: Manufacturing EVs is just as bad for the environment as ICEVs. Electric vehicles typically have a smaller carbon footprint than gasoline cars, even when accounting for the electricity used for charging. With that in mind, the question becomes: does an EV have a smaller carbon footprint over its lifetime than an ICEV?
